Youth Knight
Baron Robber I

___

Until one knight stepped forward with a two-handed sword.

Set up the horses by pulling the weapons up and out. The sword was pointing towards his opponent's face or throat.

The blade is neither vertical nor horizontal but slightly diagonal. The handle is held right on his head as high as the temples.

The duel begins, Mr. Pier still builds the same horses throughout the duel, waiting for his opponent to move. The knight stepped slowly while defending his horses.

When the blade of the knight was able to reach Mr. Pier, the knight pushed Mr. Pier with his blade. Master Pier responded to the attack by dodging then lunging and slashing, the knight was no less quick, immediately taking a step back and fending off Master Pier's attack.

The two retreated to stabilize his body, then the knight slowly moved again with the same horses, attacking sideways to the right. Master Pier parried with his sword, then the two fought each other with swords, until the knight was desperate and exhausted.

The knight desperately tried to get out of Master Pier's reach. When he fended off Master Pier's attack, he released his sword and charged towards Master Pier with both hands.

The position of Lord Pier was in danger, trapped by the weight of the knight's body on the ground while his hands were held tightly, Master Pier raised both his flexible legs and strangled the knight's neck with his feet, when there is a gap he comes out of an unfavorable position.

Looking at the sword lying beside him he quickly picked up the sword and pointed the blade at the knight.

Although Lord Pier won the duel, the knight threw Lord Pier into action. Master Pier stabilized his breathing, then said, "What's your name Master?"

"Askari, my name is Askari" he said with a wave.

"You have a unique fighting technique, not a noble way of fighting, but a way of fighting to survive. I don't mind your way, because the real war is killing or being killed. Have you ever studied the tactics of war?"

"Yes I used to have a private tutor, I learned things like swordsmanship and war tactics."

Mr. Pier cleaned his body and continued his words, "Alright Mr. Askari, I as the head of the city security, will give you the responsibility to lead a combat unit of 70 men from the militia, 20 Heavy infantrymen and 10 cavalry under your command"

The knight named Askari, saluted, and declared, "I am Askari, ready to accept this noble task!"

Mr. Pier glanced at me from where he was dueling, then he approached me sitting on his luxurious chair and said, "I'm sorry Arezha for waiting, I thought you were gone"

"It's okay, Mr. Pier, how could I have missed such an awesome duel that I'm frozen here." As long as they didn't kill each other, a fight like this turned out to be interesting to see.

Mr. Pier smiled. "Thank you for your compliment Arezha, by the way are you not working at the moment?"

"Yes, I've been on vacation for at least a week." What did he ask me like that?

Mr. Pier seemed pleased with my answer. "Good then Arezha, you must be Adry's confidante to my subordinate so he entrusted you to give this letter."

Yeah, I can say that Adry and I are best friends. "That's how it is, Mr. Pier."

He suddenly said, "I'll appoint you as logistics manager for Mr. Askari, based on your experience working in a donkey."

No way, I don't want to plunge into a bloody battle! "Wait, what does this have to do with working in a donkey? I'm sorry Mr. Pier but I refuse."

Mr. Pier just kept quiet to see me.

I said with a slightly raised voice, "I'm not a fighter Mr. Pier, I even cringe at the sight of blood, a person like me will be a prankster in the fight after all I'm sure there are many people besides me!"

Mr. Pier calmly said, "It's usually the steward's head that takes care of all these things, but he's accompanying Mr. Adipram, so right now I'm just looking at you. I don't want to lengthen back and forth to get someone for me to find someone else. I think you can supply a lot of supplies from your store. We will buy it, we both benefit, right? " For that reason he told me to?

I felt anxious, Mr. Pier's words calmed me down. "A logistician will not go into battle. Your job is just to arrange supplies and send them, have Adry and his subordinates come with you." But still I don't want to see them kill each other.

Mr. Pier replied, "Let's talk about it all tomorrow day, before that Mr. Askari, introduce Arezha, he will take care of all your logistics. Arezha comes to the meeting and notes what Lord Askari needs to give her understand?"

Mr. Askari faced me and saluted, It is strange that a noble salutes a commoner like me, I bow to him respectfully again.

"Oh yes, send this message to Adry, I want him to be present at the meeting tomorrow, too" said Mr. Pier.

___

I told Adry who was recuperating at his house about what happened when I went to his boss.

"That's how it is, you should accompany me later along with your subordinates and Mr. Pier wants you to be present at his meeting tomorrow."

The condition that has not recovered Adry does not complain. "Alright, I'll attend the meeting tomorrow. Right now I have to inform the families of my subordinates who were killed in the fight earlier." He stood up and opened the closet.

"Do you need help?" my spoken.

Adry took out a large pocket that seemed to contain coins. "No need to be alone, you rest Reza, tomorrow will be a busy day." His days were full of dangerous busyness.

I went to the tavern to look around, Mr. Dery is at work. I went in to say hello to him, Mr. Dery said, "Why? you miss your job?"

"Haha, that's it." I feel like I want to work now instead of going to the battlefield

"Then what are you waiting for? Put on your uniform and work" said Mr. Dery, who was pouring beer on his customers' glasses.

"I'm honestly not feeling well today." I just want to go to bed at home and forget about this afternoon,

"And the guy named Pier sent me as logistics for the next few days, like."

"Pier who? the city's head of security?"

"Yes, it's him."

"What does he want from you? why would someone like you meet him?"

Do I have to be honest in this situation? What am I supposed to tell him? If I told you he'd find out that Adry was involved.

"Adry was the one who introduced him to me, and then we introduced ourselves. He'll buy a lot of things tomorrow and I'm told to send everything he buys to the palace."

I think the truth in a lie is the right choice right now.

He seemed suspicious of me. "Is that so? Make sure you get back to work in this shop!" he said firmly.

Grandpa Izwar came from the kitchen carrying a plate of roasted beef steak sprinkled with salt on it, gave the plate to Mr. Dery and then Mr. Dery delivered the order.

Grandpa Izwar greeted me, "Son Arezha, you look exhausted." Yes, of course, I almost got killed this afternoon.

Damn it still lingers in the head. "That's how Cake, I had a bad thing earlier, I'll rest soon, until later Cake!"

I also say goodbye to Mr. Dery who is delivering customer orders. "Tomorrow I'll be back!"
